New Wizard Skills Thread

Galox - Heavens Tear wrote: »

Hello,

I started this thread so we could discuss the possibilities of future wizard skills being implemented. It's a long shot, and I doubt any older classes will ever get any new skills, but lets share our ideas here anyways ^^





The first skill I came up with is useful for a little AoE grinding, and generally jus a new flashy skill. The second one gives us something to fight Psychics and Clerics more effectively with.

What do you think of my ideas? Please, post your own, I'd love to see them!

lol I have to admit I kinda like the diamond strike. But, I'd rather have a stun breaker and a longer sutra (sutra II) to bring balance back to the force. Or, even a "genie enliven" skill would be great..to cause your genie to recharge at double time.

OP, you have no clue what wizards need as new skills.
Learn the class , come back after you've been in some PvP/TWs for a few months.

Now I guess you have an advice for sage/demon paths too? you're around the appropriate lvl to come up with that stuff.
b:bye

Wait so, not only are you completely negative about someone being very kind and creative and showing that to us, while doing nothing wrong, you are also assuming stuff he havent said at all and throw that in his face as if he offended you or something?

You have a negative mind. Not good for your blood pressure you know. People will dislike you for that too. Though it looks like you dont care about that.

+1 to this. You are just rude and trolling for the sake of being rude and a troll.
How about providing info on why things would/would not work. Go find another bridge, since your parents must have kicked you out of the one you were hiding under

Though you agree with me, you should know that in your last sentence you are doing the exact same thing as she was.

These skills sound nice but they are weak and don't have many purposes that I see.

What we need is more control skills and especially anti-control skills and something to boost our damage temporarily under some condition -- it can be a debuff/amp not just a buff (can't be an easy to get otherwise we would be OP, and manifest virtue fails totally in that regard).

I really do think the devs tried to make this happen with genies. Fortify would be an example of an anti-control skill and poison/frenzy/genie spark (genie spark is amazing.. 50% extra damage in some cases.. and only wizards can really benefit from it). The problem is that it benefits the other classes just as much if not more (occult/TE etc). I really think if they were to tweak a few of the genie skills, they could balance pvp a bit more. Imagine occult taking like 125 energy (like expel or domain.. same energy that we generally need to use to survive it).

I have and always will vote for plume barrier.

All barriers are now squad buffs

Frostblade adds water damage equal 20% of the mage's mag atk(for magic and phys damage) and is now an AOE buff

Emberstorm now uses MP instead of HP

BT/BIDS/MS get even cooler animations

/work

b:chuckleeveryone wants us now

He covered everything I was going to except that Wellspring Quaff would work like the barbs buff and increase EVERYONES mp. classes buffs tend to reflect their own unique specialty, and we do tend to have loads of mp....

Yes Wizards need an upgrade, I think some other classes may need a bit of one too.

Don't you just hate it when you have a damaged weapon and you are half way through killing a boss when it breaks. b:cry Well with this small upgrade a wizard in your squad can keep this from happening to you. And why not? Every time a wizard tries to heal someone the cleric heals them just before the wizard's heal skill finishes channeling. At least this way the heal skill that hit half a second too late will still do some good. And it can save you some coins on your repair bills.

A wizard with no mana is useless. b:sad So bosses with a mana drain skill really suck, even using MP pots or MP food the boss still sucks mana away faster than you can recover it. A wizard should never have to use the weapon to hit mobs or bosses. b:infuriated With this new skill a wizard will at least have one attack they can use on mobs and bosses, and they can try to take back some of the mana the mob or boss take from them. It will be like a mana tug-of-war. Wizards have the biggest mana pool in the game so why not give them a mana drain/transfer skill? Then if you are nice wizards will share their mana with you.

Why do wizards have a fire, water, and earth shield but only a water weapon buff? There should be a weapon buff like Frostblade but for fire and earth too. Then wizards can give squad members the buff best to fight the mobs and bosses they are up against. Also it should add elemental damage to skills of the same element and the elemental effects should be increased. I see wizards all the time just fire skills at random like it doesn't matter which ones they use. They should make mobs weak to an element take at least 20% more damage and mobs resistance to an element take 20% less, so there is a noticeable difference and the skills you use will matter.

I'm sure a lot of people have wished for this one. Bosses with AoEs can be a pain, but it won't hurt so bad if the wizard's shields worked like the Paladin's aura skills in Diablo 2 and would give all near by party members the effects of the aura they had on. If you are fighting a boss with an Ice AoE the wizard can switch on their shield and the whole squad will have higher resistance to the AoE. b:victory

Pit does damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. (+2% per level to pit damage and chance to freeze is equal to the freeze chance of the attack)

---

It's called pitfall but where is the pit? They should make it so that it makes a pit in the spot where the enemy was hit by the attack. Any enemies on the spot when the attack first hits will take the normal attack damage and effects, and will take more damage from the pit if they continue to stand in it. And any enemies that enter that spot after the attack hits takes damage and the effects from the pit on the ground.

I have a ton of more ideas for new skills and upgrades for all classes if you would like to hear more let me know and I will add to this post.

Sage/Demon requiring 3 sparks and them having 1 minute cooldowns balances it a bit

Willing to change though ;3

Warning: crazy ideas ahead.

Some thoughts of new wiz skills. ofc, they will never be implemented, but w/e.


Mp drains skill / party buff : i thought of this skill in 2 ways: one, just like Bloodpaint, would recover a small amount of mp based on the dmg u deal to target. the other way would be converting a % of the dmg u take into mp. oh yeah, cleric plume shield messes up this idea completely, so bleh.

Improved DoT skills: so that we can actually kill something with Dot. the way they are now i just use pitfall for the 33% chance of freeze. the other Dot skill, fire element one, i dont rly find any use. Idea: add a Dot effect to WotP. its a short range skill, not so pwerfull, and AOE Dot would be cool, since Dot dmg is crappy anyway, at least it would hit a few people everytime.

the Wiz lvl 79 barrier skill,elemental shell, which last only 4 seconds, should work like archer plume shield. which means, wiz defenses goes up for some seconds, lets say 15 seconds, but goes out after hit once. as it is now, 4 seconds only, with 60 seconds cooldown, u hardly get to use this right.

Mana Barrier

30% of the damage dealt to you gets taken from your mana instead of your HP

just like the mages in Forsaken World :O

Nice to read. But why we let live our hope that something will be changed? It never be, unless it worth for dev. to suck some money from us. All this broken game depend just on money.
